First of all, I got a new job! I have been searching for months (ahem, 8 to be exact) and really got discouraged for a while after a couple of letdowns, but I kept applying. In February I was told that I was selected for a campus recruiting position with one of the "big" accounting firms, but was soon told that they were going on a "hiring freeze"and that they would no longer need the position. I was bummed and went on a job rampage. Basically, I was applying to anything and everything and soon realized that I needed to chill out and wait for the perfect job to come along. Finally, I saw the perfect job opportunity for a position that I have past experience with and really enjoy doing. I went into this interview prepared, poised, and on a mission. I though positively about acquiring the job and voila, it happened! My first "big girl" job will start July 29th. I don't want to say a lot about it, but it will be exciting and require a lot of travel!
In true PIPM fashion, I went shopping for career clothes as soon as I accepted the job offer. I had great luck at Jcrew and even got some cute things at Banana Republic as well.
I am going to Atlanta next Sunday with my friend Sara to do some hardcore shopping, so look out!
I have an appointment to cut my hair this Tuesday. I was so fed up with my tangled rats nest this weekend that I cut three inches off myself! I felt the urge, so I did it! At least now I can't back out of my hair appointment, right?
This is how I'm getting my haircut:
Lastly, my Mom and cousin came down this weekend to bring me a beautiful antique china cabinet that Mom acquired at a "Peddler's Mall" for a super-cheap price. It is so pretty and I am so glad that all of my fine china can finally be displayed!

I've wanted to cut my hair short for so such a long time, and still do, every time I go to the salon, I back out last minute and just get the usual trim. I've had pretty long hair for pretty much all my life so I guess that's why. The cut looks like it will suit you well, show pictures when you get it done!
Love the haircut and love that last top!
congrats on the new job...that hair style will look cute on you..
